carharttfarmer Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 i still need to play with the play with the springs a stock recoil spring and the brass lands on my feet or gets ate by the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKJ Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Im running Open Glock 22 in 357SIG aswell and i find 12lb wolff spring to be the best choice for me. I have also tried 15lb ISMI but it makes the gun dip when the slide returns to battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock34insa Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 why are yall running 357 sig??? isnt that one of the most expensive rounds out there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff686 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Probably becuase of the local laws? I think the Australia shooters have to use it for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkedshooter Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 NICE!! Plan on building my G22 into an open gun, but will shoot .40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 How do you guys compete with the mag capacity of 9 or 38 s_i platforms ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillon1050 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Anything above 9mm/357/38 is banned for IPSC in Australia. Any mag with a capacity of more than 10 rounds is illegal. 357 Sig has been approved as making major in standard for IPSC to take account of the situation in Australia and in other countries where the lawmakers have strange ideas about pistol calibres. A few sports in Australia have approval to use 45ACP for metallic silhouette, etc but most of those guns were handed in before these exceptions were approved. There are a lot of unhappy shooters who would prefer to be shooting 40 instead of 357 Sig. The only plus side is that we are all pretty good at doing reloads every 10 shots. I miss my 28 round 38 Super mags, I miss my 40 SVI and I especially miss my 45ACP moon clip revolver. Australia is now much safer because I only have my 38 Super.

carharttfarmer Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 well if ya reload its cheaper than 40 and uses just a little more powder than 9 i did it because i already have alot of sig brass and really like it in my g24 nothig like 115's going 1700fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock34insa Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 thats just a little over the 165 needed...... thats like 195PF.... does the gun still shoot flat at that PF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKJ Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 why are yall running 357 sig??? isnt that one of the most expensive rounds out there?? Works the comp really nicely and i reload my rounds so the cost is about the same as .40 How do you guys compete with the mag capacity of 9 or 38 s_i platforms ? Im getting 26 in my IPSC legal bigstick which is more than enough, if stage requires more there will be places to reload on the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 25-27 rounds is all you'll EVER need. Any stage bigger than that and you'll have a place to reload. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The ones that TKJ mentions our more of a home-made version, if i recall correctly. Try a search with his username as a filter for more info. As Nik, says...TF has the extensions to 170mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The 170mm Taylors will get you 23 + 1 in .40 and are very durable. A little hard to take apart for cleaning, but they are certainly worth the price ....... if you need a Glock 40 bigstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Having fine results with the Taylor Freelance 170mm extensions. Using them in my G35 SJC conversion. They're a 100% reliable with a lighter bullet. The 155's and 165's work very well. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
